Re: [gdm-list] GDM freeze and esound.

Todd:

There is also this bug report talking about ESD having problems working
well with GDM.

   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333433

There's also a freezing bug reported if using ALSA.  Are you using ALSA
as well since this sounds more like your problem:

   http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=360983

I'm not sure what the problem might be here.  Perhaps ESD or ALSA is opening
the sound device exclusively and causing other programs who want to use
ESD or ALSA to have problems?

In the GDM configuration you can specify what program will be used
to play sounds.  I suspect the problem is with esound or whatever
program is being used to play the sounds, and not really in GDM.
